Gather.town Interactive Poster Session Time

Only registered attendees for the ICAMPAM Conference can access the gather.town session (using the email address used to register for this event).

Please use Google Chrome to access gather.town

Gather.town is a video-calling experience designed to help people gather online. Create your avatar, use a video-calling interface and wander around a 2D style space with other attendees at ICAMPAM. As you move around the webcam video and microphone audio of the other people in the room fades based on your distance to them. The image to the right is how the space is set up. You arrive at the bottom of the screen and can use your keyboard arrow keys to navigate to each poster while stopping off to interact with others.

Used in parallel to the Whova Platform, this space is available to use throughout the conference, with larger capacity during the poster session times. There is one large space to engage with other attendees and at the top of the page are listed posters by poster number. Navigating up to the poster you’re looking for you will enter a private space to chat with the poster presenter. A PDF of their

presentation or poster is available to view if you have not had the chance to look at the poster in Whova. This is the opportunity to engage more with other

attendees in this great new platform!

If you have any trouble with your

audio or video in the gather.town platform, please check through this trouble shooting link – https://support.gather.town/help/av-troubleshooting
